Table: aws_ec2_network_load_balancer_metric_net_flow_count - Query AWS EC2 Network Load Balancer Metrics using SQL

The AWS EC2 Network Load Balancer is a high-performance load balancer that operates at the transport layer (Layer 4). It is designed to handle volatile traffic patterns and millions of requests per second for your applications. It can automatically scale to meet the needs of your applications, and you can enable cross-zone load balancing to distribute traffic evenly across all registered instances in all enabled Availability Zones.

Table Usage Guide

The aws_ec2_network_load_balancer_metric_net_flow_count table in Steampipe provides you with information about the net flow count metrics of AWS EC2 Network Load Balancers. This table allows you, as a DevOps engineer, to query net flow count-specific details, including the number of new or terminated flows per minute. You can utilize this table to gather insights on network load balancing, such as monitoring the amount of traffic processed by your load balancer, identifying trends in network traffic, and more. The schema outlines the various attributes of the net flow count metric, including the load balancer name, namespace, metric name, and dimensions.

The aws_ec2_network_load_balancer_metric_net_flow_count table provides you with metric statistics at 5 min intervals for the most recent 5 days.

Examples

Basic info

Analyze the metrics of your AWS EC2 network load balancer to understand its performance over time. This will help you identify instances where the load balance may be skewed or inefficient, allowing for timely adjustments and improved resource management.

Intervals where net flow count < 100

Explore instances where the average network load balance metric net flow count is less than 100, which can be useful in identifying periods of low network traffic for AWS EC2 instances. This can be beneficial in optimizing resource allocation and understanding usage patterns.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- aws

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_aws --config '<your_config>' aws_ec2_network_load_balancer_metric_net_flow_count
